Maddy Siegrist returning for Dallas Wings on Friday

Former Villanova star Maddy Siegrist will return from injury for the Dallas Wings on Friday.

Siegrist missed the last 17 games with a fractured right anterolateral tibial plateau, which forms the joint of the knee. The Wings (8-20) host the Indiana Fever (15-12) on Friday (7:30 p.m., ION).

Before her injury, Siegrist, the all-time scoring leader at Villanova, was averaging 9.4 points and 5.2 rebounds, then good for fourth- and second-best on the team, in 11 games with three starts.

After the Fever, Dallas, which entered Thursday in 11th in the WNBA standings, will play a home-and-home against the second-place New York Liberty (17-9) on Tuesday (7 p.m., NBA TV) and Friday (7:30 p.m., ION).

The Wings then will host the Washington Mystics (13-13), who feature fellow former Villanova standout Lucy Olsen, on Sunday in Arlington, Texas (4 p.m., CBSSN).
